Exploring Time Television

双子城市公共电视台与红山演播室合作，正在制作和传播探索时代电视特别节目和相关的宣传材料。该项目将扩大和利用目前由明尼苏达州科学博物馆开发的探索时间旅行展览(美国国家科学基金会拨款#99-01919)。展览和电视特辑的目的都是通过揭示看不见的自然变化的世界来增加公众对我们世界的了解--现在正在发生的多种变化，但速度太慢或太快，以至于看不见。这部电视特辑将提供对从十亿分之一秒到数十亿年的广泛时间范围内发生的变化的视觉探索。电视连续剧和展览将补充一系列材料。将提供低带宽和高带宽的基于网络的材料，并将为中学课堂开发教师指南。正式和非正式的学习者都可以使用“时间探索者工具包”。本光盘包括有关如何创建延时电影的详细分步说明。该项目还将协调与社区技术中心网络的联系，该网络是一个支持技术中心的组织，为代表不足和低收入群体的个人提供服务。

Twin Cities Public Television, in association with Red Hill Studios, is producing and disseminating an Exploring Time television special and associated outreach material. The project will augment and leverage the Exploring Time traveling exhibit now being developed by the Science Museum of Minnesota (NSF grant #99-01919). The goal of both the exhibit and the television special is to increase the public's understanding of our world by revealing the unseen world of natural change -- the multitude of changes that are occurring in the present but at rates too slow or too fast to be seen. The television special will provide visual explorations of changes that take place over a vast range of timescales -- from billionths of seconds to billions of years.The television series and exhibit will be supplemented by a range of materials. Both low- and high-bandwidth, web-based material will be available and a teacher's guide will be developed for middle school classrooms. A "Time Explorers Toolkit" will be available to both formal and informal learners. This CD-ROM includes detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to create time-lapse movies. The project also will coordinate outreach with the Community Technology Centers Network, the organization that supports technology centers that serve individuals from underrepresented and low-income groups.
